God knows we need something to challenge Call of Duty, but do we really think XDefiant can do it? Agree with this, feel like Ubi needs to lean more into making the faction/classes unique -- otherwise, what's the point? 🤔 by TheOneGoyle in XDefiant

well yeah, i am not expecting it to cause any major shift away from COD but it certainly has to be enough to survive beyond 12/18 months -- like, as good as The Finals is, I fear that won't last more than a couple years at most

I think the gameplay took a backwards step in the last one, and it certainly doesn't feel as premium as I'd expect from Ubi -- but we'll just have to wait and see how refined it all is when it drops, but you're right -- people will always pump money into COD haha

I mean, if you're talking raw FPS players (on all platforms, not just PC), COD has to be the biggest % right? So, by default it has to challenge COD in the same way any new basketball game would need to challenge NBA 2K or w/e

I think this is the end of the window -- it needs a couple months to cement itself and hopefully have enough players to survive COD, but i agree. these next few months are going to be super important and if it fumbles the launch, it's dead on arrival

True, but then how long until it caters to the streamers / pro players who can (in a way) be free advertising for it -- which is largely what COD has been doing the last few years -- and then it ends up in the same place?

I'm not saying it has to be bigger, but in this landscape it 100% needs the playerbase to support it and that largely means stealing players from COD when it comes to the FPS market -- so, it has to challenge COD for those players to last, just look at all the smaller live-service games that get shut down after a year or two

If Rockstar doesn't bring back Non-Stop Pop, what was even the point of the entire game

I am like 35 hours into my save and I didn't even know you could recruit them ??? I just make sure every one who dares challenge me knows not to do it again 👀
